"Class B, group 2?" Lin Yi was taken aback, then he slapped his forehead. Yes, that was indeed the class Mu Daxian had registered for!

Wait, the current time...

Damn!

This time coincided perfectly with mealtime!

In other words, on May 8th at this very moment, he would have gone to the cafeteria... and also, he took Li Huiyuan to the convenience store.

He had missed everything perfectly!

"Ah!"

Even with Lin Yi's temperament and personality, he couldn't help but sigh, "Fate~"

...

Mu Daxian soon led Mao Feiyang out of the Green Forest Belt, stepped onto the cobblestone road, and headed towards the Teaching Building.

"Hey, Brother Xian, that lamppost just now had the number '102'!" Mao Feiyang suddenly pointed to a lamppost nearby.

"What about 102?"

"102! Mao Feiyang scratched his head, pointing towards the Green Forest Belt, "That thing, over there there's an abandoned lamppost, its base has the 'Teaching Building-102' number! I'm sure I remembered it right! Here, how can there be another one here?"

At this, Mu Daxian shook his head helplessly and said, "That's because both of these are 'Teaching Building-102'."

"Huh? Why?"

"Spare." As soon as Mu Daxian spoke, Mao Feiyang instantly understood.

"You mean, one of these two is a spare?"

"That's the idea, but not the logic," Mu Daxian explained as they walked, "Once the lampposts are made, their numbers are engraved on the bases, and each lamppost in the campus is fixed in its place."

"Once it's discovered that one of the lampposts is missing, then a new lamppost needs to be installed."

"The lampposts... disappear?!" Mao Feiyang's eyes bulged, "These things can actually be pulled out and run off on their own? Like the Ancient War Trees, they can move locations too?"

God damn, god damn Ancient War Trees... Lin Yi held his forehead, a speechless black line hung on his forehead.

Come on, that's due to layer collapse affecting the campus space with stretching and twisting...

But as Lin Yi thought about it, he suddenly realized there was a misunderstanding between Mao Feiyang and himself, who didn't know this point.

Well, that explained it...

Mu Daxian's lips twitched fiercely, then he said, "You know, explaining this to you right now would actually take a lot of time."

"Just listen for a bit."

"The logic goes like this..."

"During the Grey Mist Invasion incident, the newborn Pseudo-Humans obeyed the 'call' and depleted the Supernatural Power of the lampposts. Once a lamppost's Supernatural Power was exhausted, it would also lose its Supernatural Traits," he explained.

"The numbers on the lampposts are like the scales on a thermometer; they exist to indicate the presence of Supernatural Power, and their disappearance means the Supernatural Power has been exhausted."

"If a lamppost is simply losing Supernatural Power, it just needs to be replenished in time, it can be repaired from any point above 0 on the scale. But if it hits 0 and cannot be pulled back, then the bulb needs to be replaced..."

"And if you encounter the situation you just described, it means the Supernatural Traits of the previous 'Teaching Building-102' were worn away and were then dragged away by a Nocturnal species, hence the presence of that 'Teaching Building-102' abandoned in the mountains."

"The 'Teaching Building-102' lamppost you see now, it was reinstalled later by the Pocket Chef dressed in black."

"This was installed by the Black Pocket Chef?" Mao Feiyang exclaimed in surprise.

"'Logistics'!" Mu Daxian said, "Fixing pipes, installing lampposts, building walls... You know, 'skilled enough to mend anything, and strong enough to battle on the field,' that's what the Pocket Chefs in S City University's logistic team are."

"Okay..." Mao Feiyang thought to himself that the Black Pocket Chef really was capable of anything besides cooking...

Mu Daxian suddenly spoke up, "That's why I said that the Mountain Man's action was a premeditated and planned operation."

"Are you saying... the Mountain Man even calculated the lampposts getting discarded?" Mao Feiyang quickly grasped the implications in Mu Daxian's words.

Mu Daxian nodded and then shook his head, "It definitely wasn't his sole planning, it must have been a team."

"This team is closely tied to certain factions within the company, so they were able to open this back door and quietly bring some things in."

"And, they could even bury them next to a 'definitely will be' discarded lamp post base... their reach is truly vast, it really is!"

Mu Daxian couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Mao Feiyang was so shocked that he momentarily couldn't come up with his usual slick talk... Was there really a mysterious little group behind this Mountain Man?

"But then again," Mao Feiyang asked curiously, "Brother Xian, how do you know everything?"

Mu Daxian waved his hand dismissively, "Ah, these minor paths are not for outsiders to discuss."

Mao Feiyang pouted, thinking to himself, If you don't want to say it, just say so, but you even have to act all mysterious?

"So, should we be wary of him?"

"Wary of what? Once he dons an exoskeleton he turns into a mech-like warrior jumping around, and we have no idea what he's up to. Why bother with him?" Mu Daxian said nonchalantly, "We just need to look after ourselves, whatever he does is none of our business."

"Could he... do something bad?"

"It won't be too bad," Mu Daxian shook his head, "Never underestimate the power of the company."

"If the company allowed him in, it means that, at the least, the Mountain Man's actions are beneficial to the company. On that basis, regardless of whether the Mountain Man has any personal motives or does something private, that's not for us to worry about."

"Besides, if he's foolish enough to jump into my face and do something stupid, I'll twist his head off with a backhand."

Mu Daxian spoke in a calm tone, but Mao Feiyang knew that Mu Daxian was certainly not joking.

"Brother Xian is awesome." Mao Feiyang nodded and bowed, thumb up, like a servile chief steward buttering up his superior.

Mu Daxian was slightly thrown off by Mao Feiyang's uncharacteristic silence, but they had just arrived at the Teaching Building, and Mu Daxian began to ascend the stairs, planning to knock on the office door of Class B, Group 2. Just as he was stepping up, he suddenly noticed Mao Feiyang standing still at the foot of the stairs, then weirdly lifting his head.

"What's wrong, stiff neck?" Mu Daxian asked.

Mao Feiyang glanced at the sky, then averted his gaze, "Nothing... I thought I saw the Art Building from here before."

Upon hearing this, Mu Daxian's expression subtly changed, "Don't scare me, didn't you just come here last night? Are you delirious?"

"Uh... I can't quite explain it, it's just weird." Mao Feiyang shook his head and didn't say much, quietly stepping up the stairs.

Lin Yi was secretly alarmed. The spot where Mao Feiyang had just stood was exactly where he had interacted with Mao Feiyang's Vision on May 7th.

He also knew Mao Feiyang had just looked up... could he have been trying to find the Art Building in the sky?

But shouldn't the Art Building be by the sea? How could it possibly appear in the sky?

Wait, could it be... a mirage? A sudden thought popped into Lin Yi's mind.

At that moment, Mu Daxian knocked on the office door.

"Knock, knock!"

A few seconds later, a gentle female voice came from behind the door, "Who is it?"

This time it was Director-040's voice.

"Art Student Mu Daxian, ID 'Yue-X0210905182', I've come to register and do some work in the classroom before leaving," Mu Daxian replied.

"Click!"

The peephole slid open, Director-040's beautiful eyes appeared behind it.

"And the person with you?"

"My name is Mao Feiyang, also an Art Student, with the ID 'Yue-X02305070323'," Mao Feiyang quickly responded.

"Okay, wait a moment," Director-040 said as she closed the peephole, then there was silence for a while.

After waiting a bit, Mao Feiyang couldn't hold back and quietly asked, "Brother Xian, why is there no movement from her?"
